A rare Friday night match in Hamburg means we can drop in for lunch at Wirtshaus. They have been a major supporter of the Club and we like to support them in return.
After avoiding relegation last season, Hamburger SV is currently at 11th in the table. Massive improvement and definitely a threat at home.
Front: Bill, Marion, Christine, Brian Back: Armen, Lukas, Joseph and a friendly Liverpool fan.
I told Marion that I was going for a Kloppo 2014 look lately. She brought me a hat from the BVB shop in Dortmund. Still haven’t gotten the glasses just right, but someday…
Marion also arrived in the winning vehicle of all time, The most beautiful BMW I have ever seen. This car outclassed anything in the parking lot.
As for the match: more excitement than was needed. Ginter to Kagawa was magic. Ginter header was unstoppable. Auba Batman Goal came at exactly the right time. This was a Derby to remember.
Breakfasts going cold after Herne-West tie it up.
Also being celebrated was Armen’s birthday from Saturday. What better celebration than a morning Guinness while Auba scores the winning Goal.
OK, we’re going to win this thing. Can concentrate on beer for a moment.
We’ll be back again in two weeks. Stay tuned. Sign up here or follow us on Facebook or Twitter.
Thanks to a quirk in the Bundesliga scheduling, we return to Wirtshaus for the second time this season. Friday morning, October 16. Get ready for brunch, beer and victory.
This was our best meetup yet, despite the scoreline. The Bayern LA Fan Club were hospitable and gracious. Altogether, 90 Bundesliga fans in one place. Thanks to Tom and Oscar (photos). We’ll be back in two weeks, still #2 in the Bundesliga, still top of our group in Europa League.
Armen and Bill (before the match, obviously)Members not seen before: Ignacio and Guillermo.Joseph with new members Lukas and Ron.The whole scene. Quite impressive for Los Angeles at 8am on a Sunday.
With the Jungs going to Allianz Arena it seems fitting that we drop by the Bayern Los Angeles Club’s house to bring the time honored rivalry to them.
The larger picture is showing Los Angeles and Fox Sports that the Bundesliga is here to stay. We’re hoping that this will be the largest viewing party ever assembled on the West Coast.
For all Westsiders: Bill C will be organizing a train trip from Culver City. Stay tuned.
We all thought Leverkusen would have a great season, but it’s not looking that way. Still…great players and potential to break out at any time. This may be the biggest test yet. Looks like Reus may be back for this one.
